Bath

Weekend 21-22 July 2007.
Last weekend, Phui & I went to Bath. The UK had a massive downpour of rain (about 1 months worth of rain all in a few hours!) on Friday and resulted in severe flooding in many parts of the country. Many roads were closed and trains were delayed. Phui & I ended up queuing for 3 hours at Paddington Station just to get onto the train. What a saga! It was 2.30pm before we finally arrived at Bath (usually only a 1 1/2hr journey on the train). Just as well we were staying overnight!

We did most of the touristy stuff. Bath was a pretty town filled with hordes of tourists. The main tourist attraction is the Roman Baths. We even sampled some of the spa water which is supposed to have healing properties. The spa water was warm and tasted digusting. I could only stomach half a sip.
